Mar 25, 2026Clunky and Unreliable - PeaZip Let Me Down
I downloaded PeaZip because I needed a free file archiver, but I was quickly disappointed. The interface feels outdated and clunky to navigate. More importantly, I encountered multiple crashes when trying to create password-protected archives, and the process was much slower than using 7-Zip or even the built-in Windows zip tool. For a simple 7z extraction, it's fine, but I can't trust it with anything important, especially given the bugs.

Mar 18, 2026Frustrating and Unreliable on macOS
Despite the promising list of features, PeaZip on macOS has been a constant headache. The interface feels clunky and unpolished, often freezing or crashing when handling large archives. For a tool that touts security, the encryption process is unintuitive and I've had archives fail to extract properly, which is a dealbreaker.

Mar 16, 2026Clunky and Frustrating Experience
I really wanted to like PeaZip since it's free and open source, but the interface feels outdated and confusing. Simple tasks like creating a basic ZIP file require navigating through too many menus, and I've had it crash twice while extracting large RAR archives. The security features are nice in theory, but the overall experience makes me regret not sticking with 7-Zip.
